I would love to do the therapist on 'Two and a Half Men' again or just work with Charlie Sheen.

Will Ferrell in 'Talladega Nights.' He's a very generous performer. He's kind of just one of the guys, but his name happens to be above the title.

You know 'Ninotchka?' I recommend it. It's kind of a mess, too. It was before, you know, we got slick editing tools, so it kind of chops along.

My brother was listening to his transistor radio. He kept switching the earpiece from one ear to the other, which I thought was his idea of a joke. 'You can't do that,' I said. 'You can only hear out of one ear.' 'No, I can hear out of both,' he answered. And that was how I discovered I was deaf in my right ear.

I always ended up having the funny part in Shakespeare, but I really thought I'd be doing theater. That was my ambition for myself.

I wanted to do something where I could hang my hat.

I do feel that softness for the vulnerability and the innocence in our world, including my own.

I go to coffee shops for my outlet. Which is just not healthy at all.

I'm a character actress, and my particular brand is more mature, so I had to wait until my age caught up with the tricks in my little arsenal.

No one's just going to hand you a career. I waited for years for someone to hand me one and it never happened.

'Zoolander.' Yeah, I mean, I love Ben Stiller; he's just a brilliant guy. And I love Will Ferrell in it, too. His character, to me, is just insane, and he made such huge choices, and he's such a weirdo!

I love Matt LeBlanc in 'Episodes' - he's very good. And the 'Modern Family' cast just cracks me up.

I can be kind of razor sharp in my disapproval.

I've never really had specific goals and stuff like that - I think I sort of learned early on that if you kind of let life roll in at your feet, you will get a lot of great stuff if you are just aware and open to it.

Charlie Sheen was such a pro.

I watch very selective television. I watch 'Mad Men,' and I usually watch a season at a time.

I know it sounds new age-y, but what I've truly come up with is that you really need to trust that you're on your own path, as long as you stay true to it and you show up, which is 99% of it.

Standing by myself, just having everybody looking at me the entire time, is not my idea of a good time.

Football is very masculine and, to me, a metaphor for war.

I have to admit that I was a little nervous when I showed up for my first official 'Wreck-It Ralph' recording session.

I love doing sketches, but I don't relish being by myself. That's not something I'm used to doing.

I'm kind of a 'Fix-It Felix' video girl. I like the simpler, sweeter kind of games.

I think a little tidbit I can give you is that I grew up with basically everything handed to me, except for my career. I worked for that.

I'm a person who likes habit and knowing what my job is.

But now that I've matured, I've realized that - at the end of the day - what's really important is the work, not what people think of me.

I didn't want to be gay. I wanted to be... I wanted an easy life. And you know what? I am gay, and I still have an easy life.

One of the few advantages to not being beautiful is that one usually gets better-looking as one gets older; I am, in fact, at this very moment, gaining my looks.

Television is really fertile ground, and it's because of platforms like Netflix and Hulu and, of course, the cable channels like HBO and Showtime.

I became quite a diva, and intolerant, and people knew when I was not pleased. Some people were afraid of me, and other people just kind of blew me off. But I wasn't making any friends. I only had one person who remained my friend, and he was my boyfriend for a while. Even though I told him I was gay, he was like, 'That's alright.'

I love Jennifer Saunders, the 'Absolutely Fabulous' creator.

I've been in Chicago for every Christmas of my life.

If you're contriving something, if you're making something up, it's not funny. You can tell. It's instant. It has to come from someplace real.

When I was a kid, we would get McDonalds on Christmas Eve, and that was a big deal because the closest one to the south side of Chicago was a 35 minute drive away. I remember opening the bag and smelling those fries, and even now when I smell them, it reminds me of Christmas Eve.

I stopped watching television like a fiend once I got into college.

I'm kind of a manic exerciser. I'll like exercise for a week and be crazy, and then I won't do it for six months.

To this day, I still would choose the angst over something easier, when I really don't have to.

I wanted to - any chance I had to dress up as a boy, like Halloween, I would be a pirate or a ghost that wore a tie. A hobo.

From the start. As early as - I felt I was in the wrong sex; I really did. I would go into my dad's room and put on his clothes.

I've just always loved singing, and I come from a family that loves singing around the kitchen table.

I've always sung. My dad had a song in his heart and on his lips 24/7. A lot of the time, it was the same song and the same phrase over and over again.

I can fool people that I was educated.

I'm like Jay Gatsby. I like to throw the party and then stand back, looking gorgeous. Stand back and watch it.

I think my cruelty hides beneath the surface a lot more than Sue Sylvester's.

I'd drop whatever I was doing to show up to do the graveyard shift of 'America's Shopping Place.'

I get the male thing. I like being that for a woman. But I also like being a woman, too. I like being girly.

I had friendships with two people in my life who, when I attempted to do my habitual behavior of building a case to break up with them, wouldn't allow me to do it. They both said to me, 'I'm not going anywhere.' And that moved me so deeply.

I auditioned for a one-act version of 'The Princess and the Pea' called 'The Ugly Duckling,' and I was cast as the King, starting a pattern of being cast in roles originally intended for men. I went to the first rehearsal, and I didn't get any laughs, and I choked and I quit. I walked away from it and joined the tennis team.

I'm not out to conquer anything, which I think is a good thing. That's why I also think crazy, different things come my way. I really don't have an agenda, and I'm really happy not to have one. I'm just keeping it light.

It's always a good idea to go up for the male roles. You go up against a bunch of beefy guys, and the casting director then feels smart for taking you on, like he's the one who thought outside the box.

I love the character I played in 'Criminal Minds.'
